“Hyundai issued a recall on 06/27/22 to repair part of the seat belt pretensioner, and they continue to send reminders to have the repair. However, they are out of the required part and according to dealers they will not give an ETA for delivery of the part. I have been in touch with my dealer since last fall and they state they have not ever been given any guidance from Hyundai regarding the part. It would seem that the manufacturer would have been prepared with a supply of the replacement part, and certainly has had ample time for production. I would simply looking for an estimated date when this part will be available. Thank you, [XXX]”
Electrical system

“When the car is started, the radio screen sometimes stays off. When this happens, the only way to resolve it is to shut off the car, open the door, and then restart the car. This issue occurs randomly, and when it does, there is no rear-view camera available, which poses a significant safety risk. Without the camera, drivers cannot see if there is a child or obstacle behind them, increasing the risk of a serious accident. I have reported this issue to the dealership multiple times, but they dismiss it, claiming it is not a problem unless they witness it themselves. An internet search reveals that this is a widespread issue known to Hyundai, but they are not taking any steps to correct it. This defect could lead to a tragic accident, and I am hoping you can help initiate a recall to address it. The problem seems to occur more frequently in the summer heat. Please help us ensure the safety of others, as it appears the automakers are more concerned with profits than with safety.”

“MY VENUE HAS 2100 MILES ON IT. IT HAS PULLED TO THE RIGHT SINCE DAY ONE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE AUGUST 13TH, 2022. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE REAR AXLE AND THAT DIDNT FIX IT, THEN THEY SENT IT TO A BODY SHOP FOR A FEW WEEKS TO SEE IF THE FRAME IS STRAIGHT AND THEY SAID IT IS. SO NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT IS THE CASTERS ON MY FRONT TIRES, WHICH WOULD MEAN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STRUTS ON MY BRAND NEW CAR. i BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH THE SAFETY OF MY 10 YEAR OLD KID I'M PUTTING IN THIS UNIT IN MIND. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHT .”
